guaranteed. Turn off compcache, too and it'll fly. You have to install and patch the awesome recovery image in firerat's thread linked above. it's pretty complicated for most users, but if you can/already have done it, then go ahead. firerat makes it easy!
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
So is the patch already integrated into the ROM? Just download and flash? If so, you are my "hero" :)
[G1 Android Development] krohme:
that would be really awesome! :) but wow that guide given by Sir Firerat looks complicated to me :o I'll wait to see if a more simplified instruction is supplied lol. anyways thanks for your hard work brother ;)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
haha no you still need the custom recovery and the sdcard file...

and the fr boot patch.

I've just rearranged these roms for optimal performance with the above configuration.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I vote for FR's MTSlide :p

would you added to the collection?

EDIT: I just tested SenseHero and runs really smooth but, oh surprise when I realized it is Firmware 1.5 still:(

also you have to type: "setprop cm.filesystem.ready 1" on every reboot or it won't boot.. very inconvenience (b/c of adb)

thanks for sharing this anyways:)
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
Hey if you could help me get this to work, i could add it into my rom and you could include it. that way you don't only have sense roms and you can have a flying froyo. :)

This would also be good because i yanked the a2sd script from my rom and recommended people use the mtd hack if they needed more space, and if they needed MORE space then they could add the a2sd script themselves.

I've tried previously to get the mtd part hacks going in my tests. but never successfully got it. this was back using the froyo aosp. When i tried doing the mtd hack it wouldn't run scripts on boot. (that's not good :() and my data size never changed

i had flashed the recovery1_1, and added the automtd stuff that firerat had created and posted in our thread for the rom (replaced the boot.img and edited the updater-script to flash it correctly).

I notice that now there might be newer stuff, so if he got that working, great. let me know the proper procedure for a cm6 based rom, and i'll try it and offer it for a test.

Thanks man, hope this works out!

Edit: well i tried this all again on my own. and got it working. :D

now i can't "touch the android to begin".. i just get "ignoring touch event because phone interface was null" from logcat. and i just did a fastboot wipe. ? do you think it's because of this? turns out it was because some idiot (me) decided to replace the phone.apk. but didn't notice he replaced it with phone.zip........... hahahahaha

anyways i now have a working MTD Froyo rom :D that's good news right? well, you would think so, but there is better news. I didn't think this rom could get faster. well damn was i wrong. this MTD hack really sped up not just the rom, but the boot up (not first boot).

Here's my post with my rom in it :)

There is no theme on it (yet). so flash any theme you want. metamorphs are recommended. dont blame me if you flash a theme through recovery and get a bootloop.
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
Hmm, mine says Insufficient storage space when I try to install things. Was I not supposed to flash firerat's no-A2SD patch?

on ZXHero
[G1 Android Development] bubert:
Can`t download anything from mediafire:( I would really like to try your work:|
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
ummm no. firerat's no-a2sd patch is completely unrelated. this if for firerats custom MTD patch.. lol

and that sounds like it was because you tried flashing one of those hero roms onto yourphone and you don't have room for it in /system. those roms need to use the mtd patch to increase system so they fit. mine decreases /system a tiny bit :D (default with mtd patch)

dude that really sucks considering this whole page is mediafire links :P i'm uploading a mirror to megaupload, and i'll pm you when it's done. be about 6 minutes.
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
I can fit the hero rom ANYWAY, I just wanted to see if there was a speed boost. and I'm pretty sure I followed instructions correctly.

I installed the firerats no-a2sd patch because i have no ext partition, and some roms don't boot without one and then continud to flash the custom MTD patch
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
Do you know how to flash the custom MTD patch? you need to patch the recovery, and then have the mtdpartmap.txt file on your sd card

then you flash the rom
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
added your froyo to op. People please keep posting your mods, i'm just the keeper of this thread because i'm online often and can update op.
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
Thanks man, would you like me to PM you when there are updates? Because there are updates often :)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
the point of this rom is that you don't even need ext on ANY phone, g1 or mytouch... so the patch might have broken the a2sd bypass... lol
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
The section of the post that is for your rom is actually future-proof... just pm me if the 90 has to grow at some point.
[G1 Android Development] studjuice:
Oh haha wow man you're badass, I didn't actually check where the links went :P

Oh dude i think you should include in the OP info about the two different types of mtdpartmap.txts and the recovery patches, just so we have a few less noob questions. Just say that they should make sure that the type of mtdpartmap.txt corresponds to the type of recovery patch they used, and example "this goes with this", "that goes with that"
[G1 Android Development] eXase:
Hmm, so any suggestions how to fix it? I think its ignoring no-a2sd and is trying to install into my non-existant ext partition
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SphericalPuma:
Hey guys, I've got a problem and am hoping the minds at XDA can help.

My brother and I both have a Nexus One and both have unlocked bootloaders. I've never had a problem installing custom roms or restoring back to the shipping rom, or suffered any problems whatsoever.

However his phone, suffers random reboots all the time. I unlocked his bootloader and from the very first Rom we had problems. I double-checked my methods and even tested it again on my phone with no problem whatsoever. So, he got back into town today and I restored his phone to the shipping rom (userdata, boot, system, radio, etc.) It still randomly reboots. I thought it might have been a bad battery and swapped it out with a different one, and I was able to mess around longer with the phone, but it still rebooted on its own accord.

I told him he could call HTC, but more than likely he would have to pay 180 dollars to replace the motherboard on the phone. He says he'll just deal with the random reboots instead of the possibility of paying the money.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be, because after reflashing the shipping rom I'm out of ideas. Another odd thing I noticed with his phone from the get-go was the haptic feedback and vibrations in general, they were barely noticeable, almost non-existent as compared to my and my friend's nexus one.

[G1 Accessories] gophergun:
That's awesome. Perhaps this could be a somewhat dignified retirement for my aging G1? :p

Is the kit in question the serialdroid?
[G1 Accessories] spiritplumber:
The SerialDroid is a small daughterboard that gives you servos (8) and sensors (4 analog, 6 digital) but no motors per se, so I recommend thast if you want to make your own chassis. Otherwise use an Antbot or a Renegade :)
[G1 Accessories] zenity:
Intriguing, wonder how my Kaiser would cope with this? Surely anything my G1 can do, my Kaiser should be able to?
[G1 Accessories] spiritplumber:
The serial port version is only supported on G1 and G2 right now. The bluetooth version is supported on anything that runs Android.
[G1 Accessories] zenity:
Kaiser + bluetooth + Android, yup that's doable, have to check with my work, but the BOM looks doable too ;)
[HD2 General] bizmark03:
I live in Bryan TX, about 75miles from Houston and as far as i know there is no HSDPA in my city yet. But i was just trying the Android build last night and it showed the H symbol for a bit. After that i never saw the H symbol, not in winMo, not in android. So was it just android reporting wrong information or was t-mobile actually testing HSDPA equipment at that time(highly unlikely but i wish they were).

Did anyone else experience android showing H even if you were not in HSDPA location?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Your proximity to A&M can cause all sorts of unexplained weirdness :p

lol seriously though, I understand that not only does Houston itself have HSPA+ now (it was in the first wave, Austin gets it next week), but also a large part of the surrounding area (mostly in your direction, and out towards the gulf too) are getting regular HSDPA very soon.

Note that on a stock winmo ROM you won't see an "H" in your taskbar, even if you have that type of connection...it won't display unless you're using a custom icon set (the default one is suppressed by the carrier)
[HD2 General] bizmark03:
Well....i see your location and i'm not surprised by your answer...and i do study at A&M.....but anyways...thanks for the response, will try installing a set of custom icons and try it out......but considering the speeds i get i dont think its HSDPA+....they dont even touch 1mbps.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah I'm sure it's not HSDPA+ all the way up to you yet, I think they're just getting the 3G to regular HSDPA standards in the surrounding areas like yours.

Also note that even if you see an "H" in the display there, it only really means that you have a better connection with the tower, the backend elements to give you the real speed increase may or may not be in place TO that tower yet.

(to be honest with you, I couldn't really care less about the UT/A&M rivalry...I'm not from here. I just know I might get run out of town if I missed an opportunity to fire a shot like that lol)
[HD2 General] hypersonicx:
Depeding on the Developer of the rom. Sometime they use the "H" just to show there is active data.

For example im in Madison TN and we have 3G but dont have H yet. On my phone though, using the Energy Series rom, my phone idles with a 3G but if I load a web page or trigger some kind of data activity, the 3G will turn to H and back to 3G when the data activity is done. Same with some Android Roms, they change to H for data activity and back to 3G when the phone is idle.

I mite not be 100% accurate on that but I think thats how it works on the custom roms.

On a stock rom instead of 3G idle youll see H all day if you had hsdpa in your area.
[HD2 General] bizmark03:
thanks for the response, I guess you might be right there, but I'm not sure stock ROMs show the H icon, because i was in Houston last week, in the middle of downtown and my phone still showed 3G.

Staying on a similar subject can someone help me out with adding the H icon to the stock ROM, I do not want to add a custom taskbar, just looking for some reg edit, where it will show a simple H icon instead of the 3G icon when i'm in HSPA+ coverage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Infamous_One:
Hello all!

I've had this issue since I rooted my phone (with NAND unlock using Toast's method) back in the beginning of June. I noticed this issue IMMEDIATELY after rooting since my girlfriend is on AT&T. Recipients on AT&T can receive my SMS just fine, but I cannot receive theirs (I have tested multiple phones on their network)! Other carriers seem to work just fine as I have tested most of the popular ones although haven't tried T-mobile, could it be a "my phone versus GSM" issue?

I have wiped and factory reset my phone numerous times, used multiple roms including the rooted stock 1.32-1.47, OMJ's 1.4-1.7, and currently am on Baked Snack 9.6. Out of an act of desperation, I accepted the 1.47 OTA update before root with no avail. After all of this I have noticed one thing staying the same... The PRI Version 1.34. I know there is no current way to update this back to the stock 1.40, and too be honest am not really sure if this could even be the underlying cause of this issue because what does roaming have to do with receiving SMS on my home network? I've had multiple people tell me that they have had no such issues, and searching the boards shows me that this is definitely an isolated issue.

If anyone has any advice, information, or even has this issue as well please let me know! Any help will be greatly appreciated! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Call Sprint, sounds like a network issue, not a phone one.

--Swyped from my EVO using XDA App.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Infamous_One:
After over a week of dealing with Sprint...

Well, after several phone calls and tickets later, I have now found out that the AT&T messages aren't even hitting Sprint's gateway (the front door of data). It's odd because the tech rep is able to see my messages out, but not able to see the ones sent back. This leads me to believe that it is in fact a network issue, and has absolutely nothing to do with my phone. He clarified that even if my phone was broken he would still be able to see the messages at the gateway, but they aren't even getting there. There is nothing more that Sprint can do because they can't reference something that doesn't show in their systems; so I'm being forced to call AT&T... I have already gotten the run around from both sides stating, "well it's definitely an issue on their network".

I'm not really sure what else to do, it just seems so strange that the very same day I rooted my phone, I stopped being able to receive their messages. The only thing left for me to do is try and get a replacement phone? and if I do that, do I root my phone again and risk being burdened by this issue again? I know one thing's for sure, after having a rooted phone for almost a month and a half, there's no way I'm staying stock!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Getting a new phone won't help you, it's definitely AT&T's network, or whoever owns the bandwidth connecting their (AT&T's and Sprint's) networks. Simple as that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Infamous_One:
Thank you drmacinyasha on your quick replies!

I'm hoping to get my girlfriend's account information soon so AT&T will actually help me; I'm just worried that they will say the same thing Sprint has told me. I know it's as "simple as that" to state where the problem obviously lies, but I'm not sure how simple it will be to get a hold of someone who will actually be able to fix it.

My girlfriend is able to send SMS to other people on Sprint just fine, so I'm confused by the fact that this has only happened to my number.
[Nexus One Android Development] joeydsmith:
Not sure why this was deleted last time as users were already discussing this topic. I'd like to know which moderator deleted it and why.

I think it'd be nice for devs to build into their rom a long press of a hardware button to launch the camera app.

If this thread should be in the APP/Themes section, a mod should MOVE it there not delete it entirely. Retarded.

So is this long press of a hardware button (i suggest one of the volume keys) possible to link to launching an app specifically the camera?
[Nexus One Android Development] superg81:
i was wondering where it went myself .ah well :rolleyes: i like this idea and would use it if it became available.if its even possible
[Nexus One Android Development] diversificationied:
Look for an application on the market that lets your configure the long press on search softkey.

It'll let you load any application by long pressing the search key.
[Nexus One Android Development] joeydsmith:
Thank you, works great.
[Nexus One Android Development] superg81:
what app did you find?
[Nexus One Android Development] isolated_epidemic:
try cm6 -->settings-->cyanogenmod settings-->input settings-->long press home settings-->check use custom app, voila!
[Nexus One Android Development] bcpk:
Button Shortcut.
[Nexus One Android Development] HTCinToronto:
Tried this but the camera app isn't in the list.
[Nexus One Android Development] jtn7040:
just tried it, works great.. .did u reboot?
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
Select Applications from the list, then choose Camera. It's there:eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] wdfowty:
I could be wrong, but i don't think the mods owe you any explanation. If you knew where you went wrong, why ask the question?

Anyways, back on topic, this would be an awesome mod on stock froyo, one I'd like to incorporate into my rom :)
[Nexus One Android Development] agovinoveritas:
OOORRRR.... You could long press your "seach key." To my knowledge the long press comes unassigned to anything. If you press it, it will give you an option of which app to use for it.

Search for the camera and VOILA! Again.

Personally, I have it set to QuickDesk.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] slarry:
My HTC Magic is acting very weird. It started when i had it in my pocket when it was raining. So i tried to use the phone it didn't respond when i tapped the phone. It's just odd that when i turn off the phone and boot it up some hours later, it works. But only for a couple of minutes, then it's not responding again.

One time i was playing teeter and suddently the G-sensor didn't work. The ball didn't roll and the touchscreen didn't work either.

Also, sometimes the charging led does not respond when i charge the phone.

The trackball switches between not responding roll and not responding to being pressed. Sometimes both things work, sometimes they don't.

The phone has been exposed to water before, about 3 weeks ago, but back then i used a hairdryer and it was good to go after that.

Here is what i have tried so far:

Opened the phone and cleaned the screen.

Made sure that the cables were plugged in.

Installed the stock rom from HTC.

Used a hairdryer.

None of these things had any effect :(

Could somebody please tell me whats wrong with it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lookitzloy:
Check the other boards in the phone for water damage and clean. Hope it'll help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] slarry:
Right now i have put the phone into a bowl with rice. I've heard that it might help removing the moisture. If it doesn't work, i'll try your method.
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
What's going on? even after using advanced task killer, I only have around 200MB RAM free from the 512MB

What is eating up all my RAM?

It doesn't make sense that the OS requires 300MB of RAM to run, since it runs on devices with 128MB
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
I know I'm not the only one seeing this
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Yeah, whats up with this????

After a reboot and letting it sit for a minute, I kill all tasks and it tells me 237Megs available....

Can the system be using all of that or something???
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
The os could be caching ram, maybe like windows 7 does now where it always shows low free ram even when it isn't truly in use. We need a linux or android expert to chime in.
[Droid X General] FtL1776:
Precaching photos for your contacts and their info and other photos in terms of widgets.

Droid X probably has some aggressive precaching.
[Droid X General] InspecterJones:
Its pretty damn fast and everything runs great so i don't care too much how much it sais is free.
[Droid X General] Ryan Frawley:
Yet it seems like nobody has thought to precache the app icons in the launcher. The launcher has always been the most lag-prone part of any android phone.
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Right there with ya ; )
[Droid X General] paul89:
yes this phone has 512mb of ram, but the hardware in the phone makes alot of that ram dedicated to it, hardware such as the awesome gpu! so even 200mb free! is still alot let over.

Only takes a second and they may have aimed for a limit.
[Droid X General] friguy3:
I assume froyo may help with this...i hope! Im dropping down into the 50s will normal use and if i kill everything i can get back up to about 120s. there is a little lag on scrolling but ill wait for froyo. loving my first android!
[Droid X General] Mikerrrrrrrr:
I'm hovering around 75 or so, with mild auto task killing. Is this something to be concerned about? It feels relatively smooth.

EDIT: Will auto-killing tasks (useless ones) improve battery life or hurt it by wasting cpu cycles? I've heard that task killers aren't good for Android, and yet I also hear that they can improve battery life if used properly. I figure XDA will have a few people who can help answer that question :)
[Droid X General] iB4STiD:
which tasks can you kill?

i wanted to know which tasks can be killed with my auto task killer without messing up anything with the phone? thanks.
[Droid X General] gsmsosv:
Unless you're running apps that are poorly designed and behaving badly, you probably won't see any benefits from using a task killer.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] longsolong:
Hi Everyone!

I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 running WM6.1 with radio version Rhodium 4.49.25.77.

When using wi-fi, I'm only able to get 1 bar where as with my ipaq 6315 and Dell Axim I'm able to get 3 bars. I've tried different radio versions and all to no avail. Is this something that can be fixed or is it because HTC manufactures their units with wi-fi chip sets not as good as Dell or HP?

Thank you in advance for any useful information.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drewcam888:
Did you turn up the wifi power under wifi setttings
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] longsolong:
Hi Drew and thank you!

Yes, that is the very first thing that I did and it did not help at all. HTC did a very great job with the GPS chip-set but for some reason the Wi-Fi chip-set is not as strong. I also have a Sprint PPC6700 and Sprint PPC6800(Mogul) all made by HTC and the Wi-Fi on these units also only gets 1 bar while my ipaq 6315 and Dell Axim both get 3 bars on the Wi-Fi meter.

[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
I'd like to get a list of ideas together for a dialer mod. I am not doing a dialer mod, it's definitely not my area. However, I think if we get some cool ideas going, it might entice someone to make one ;)

I really like Samsung's dialer, however my biggest issue is the voicemail button. Who still uses that junk, so without further delay...

Suggestions:

-Option to have the voicemail tab (and long press 1) launch an app, such as google voice or another visual voicemail.

-Many of the other features regarding vibration and call waiting included in the Dialer Mod in Cyanogen's roms.

I'll add any suggestions in this thread to the list.
